DataBattle started

34®ß0*3® — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:23:29 +0000

Dear Readers, I have put my project “Sweatshirt” on hold as PAlib is almost dead. I also recently started a new project; it’s called DataBattle. I’m making this game using only libnds. All I have so far is one tiled background loaded using metatiles.

DataBattle is supposed to become a turn based strategy game based on THIS GAME (Warning, it’s very addicting). I plan to have either DS to DS multi-player, or a computer character. I also hope to make a level editor (on the DS).

PS: no bitman.

New Computer setup

34®ß0*3® — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:45:00 +0000

I upgraded my computer a few days ago, and I have recently gotten it to compile! And I’m not dead. I passed middle school successfully.

Today, I installed a program that lets me use my computers together. . . or maybe not, but I can use the same mouse and keyboard(and clipboard data)over both. The program is called synergy, its cross-platform, with no GUI on the mac and linux versions. A program called quicksynergy was made to allow easy configuration for mac and linux versions, but it lacks offline instructions. To find out how it works, you need to read a comment on the wiki page for Configuring quicksynergy.

Simple explanation of how it works.

mouse is plugged into computer 1
I drag cursor over to the left side of screen
cursor appears on computer 2

New features

2 more levels
splash screens
credits
fixed 500 points glitch
Rainbow color

EDIT: I apologize to anyone who downloaded this before this edit appeared. I had a MAJOR bug that I didn’t see because I didn’t test it on my DS and always exited the emulator before exiting a level. If you have downloaded that version, please re-download.

rainbow

I added another color.

It’s not a color.

It’s a cycle of colors.
